Oh, my Achin' Back!

Apparently, through the simple expedient of leaning over to use a cardboard box at Knee Level as a desk on which to sign a USPS delivery slip, I have managed to pull a muscle or do something equally unpleasant in my lower back, and now it hurts quite a bit.

OK, I'm all set now that I have someone to blame! (And after I refrained from makingthe "Look! It's got a crack right up the middle!" joke, too!)

Seriously, hon, thanks for being concerned. It's not too bad while I sit here at my desk, but standing up quickly shows me that there's a problem of some sort. I walk like a little old guy, hunched over and pressing the back of my hand to my lower back.

Happy, but not healing as fast as I'd like. She keeps getting it wet! But it doesn't seem to be bothering her, and at least, with the Cone Collar on, she's not licking it. (And when you look at her face in the cone, its like a bowl of cute!

Ouch!

This UPS slip, was it work related or was it more important than that? If it was work be sure to let them know just how bad it hurts and how much sacrifice (cough) it’s taken for you to hobble in.

I know a lot about back pain from the fractured vertebra I got as a present for myself in high school. It’s one of those gifts that keep on giving. (I could tell you a lot about extreme lower back pain at work, butt I don’t think I’ll go there right now…)
